  Verse 1

  Somewhere the branches are swaying slow above the quiet ground Green leaves are brushing so softly against the dark of night You are the reason the darkness feels kind and safe all around Rest now, my darlin', and let go of the last of the light

  Chorus

  Marilyn, Marilyn, hush now and drift on the breeze Nothing can touch you while you are held here so near Sleep finds you gentle as wind through the heavy green leaves Marilyn, close now, there's nothing at all left to fear

  Verse 2

  Underneath cloth so dark, the leaves keep tapping so light Every small sound out there is only the wind saying goodnight You are the calm that the whole tired evening has found Breathe slow, my darlin', let sleep settle soft all around

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how the wind goes quiet, folding its wings to rest Nothing tonight will hurry you, nothing will ask you for more Just let the hush come closer, soft as a breath held blessed

  Chorus

  Marilyn, Marilyn, hush now and drift on the breeze Nothing can touch you while you are held here so near Sleep finds you gentle as wind through the heavy green leaves Marilyn, close now, there's nothing at all left to fear

  Bridge

  Let every worry fall loose like leaves letting go of a tree You are the warmth in this room, the one thing I keep Nothing tonight is required of you, only to be

  Chorus

  Marilyn, Marilyn, hush now and drift on the breeze Nothing can touch you while you are held here so near Sleep finds you gentle as wind through the heavy green leaves Marilyn, close now, there's nothing at all left to fear

  Outro

  Somewhere the leaves keep brushing so soft against the dark You are already dreaming, already safe, already home

  Verse 1

  The grey wings fold so softly into bark tonight Every star above is bending low to watch you rest There's a hush that wraps around you, soft and warm and right Sleep is calling gently, and you answer it the best

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the dark be kind and slow Feel your breath grow quiet like the tide Something warm is waiting just below

  Chorus

  Marilyn, the stars are humming just for you Soft as feathers, safe as any nest could be Nothing in the dark can touch you, Marilyn, it's true You are held as gently as the bark holds sleeping trees

  Verse 2

  The night has folded round you like a wing pulled tight Every shadow softens when it comes to find your bed Somewhere close a small bird settles into starlight And you are just as treasured as the words I've said

  Bridge

  Rest here where the quiet keeps you warm Nothing in the dark will ever ask you to be strong

  Chorus

  Marilyn, the stars are humming just for you Soft as feathers, safe as any nest could be Nothing in the dark can touch you, Marilyn, it's true You are held as gently as the bark holds sleeping trees

  Outro

  Sleep now, little feather, folded soft and low The bark still holds you gently as the stars keep their glow

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the water is folding soft over the sand tonight letting the day go under, easy and slow and right you are the calm at the edge where the loud waves land held in the hush that follows them onto land

  Chorus

  Marilyn, close your eyes now, let the dark come round the softest thing in all the world is your sleeping sound rest here, Marilyn, nothing can touch you now the whole night bends down gently to your brow

  Verse 2

  Little light on the water, dim and far and true stays just to watch quietly over you every wave that reaches shore forgets itself in white just like you're forgetting the whole day into night

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the tide has nowhere else to be nothing is asked of you, nothing you can't set free sleep is coming closer, soft as it can come

  Chorus

  Marilyn, close your eyes now, let the dark come round the softest thing in all the world is your sleeping sound rest here, Marilyn, nothing can touch you now the whole night bends down gently to your brow

  Bridge

  Foam goes quiet on the sand, and so do you fading into calm the way the sky turns blue nothing in the dark tonight will ask you to be strong

  Chorus

  Marilyn, close your eyes now, let the dark come round the softest thing in all the world is your sleeping sound rest here, Marilyn, nothing can touch you now the whole night bends down gently to your brow

  Outro

  Somewhere the water is folding softly, letting go sleep the same way, Marilyn, easy and slow
